Learn what's in your Knowledge Notes! You can't use what you don't know.

Finish Reading section from SAT PT1. Do the first two passages untimed, then time the last two passages and write down how long they take you. Enter your answers into Ivy Global and read explanations after every passage.

Read about the SAT Essay in your SAT book, beginning on p. 149. You can skip essays scored below 3/3/3.

If you have uncertainty about ANY of the concepts from Algebra Worksheets 1-3, you must take action now! You can use the links I've provided, Khan Academy, your own favorite math resources, teachers, etc. The concepts again are:

Solving proportions by cross-multiplying

Solving systems of equations by elimination and substitution

FOILing/multiplying polynomials

Solving quadratic equations by factoring and using the quadratic formula

If you have not completed the Knowledge Notes described in the Winter Break homework – these are required! Finish them this week and share them with me on Google Drive.

Review the Writing and Language section of your PSAT. Filter by “Incorrect and Omitted” and try those questions again. Carefully read the explanations and focus on how many of the questions involved topics we have discussed in class.

Do the same with the Math - No Calculator section.

Deeply review the topics on Algebra Worksheets 1 and 2. Then do Algebra Worksheet 3​, which covers the same topics!

Winter Break

Catch Up: Complete ALL homework assignments listed on this page that you haven't done already. I do not want you to miss out on anything from our class.

Knowledge Notes: Write on paper, or create a Google Doc, everything that you've learned in our class so far. Think of everything you can from memory, then review our homework assignments, handouts, notes, and this page for more topics to include. Be detailed: for example, don't just write "semicolons and colons"; write out all of the rules for their use. Not only will this help you to review and remember everything that we've done, but it will also remind you of how much we've covered already.

Complete Practice Test 3 in your ACT book. Time each section precisely and use the bubble answer sheet. Check your answers and calculate your scores in the book. We will be spending only a small amount of time going over this test in class, so do a great job of reading the answer explanations in the book. Mark any questions you want to go over with me in class. If you type your timed, handwritten essay into Google Drive and share it with me, I will score it and provide comments.

If you have any questions, please email me and I will respond quickly.

Do a GREAT job reviewing math concepts from Algebra Worksheet 1. Use the links on the second page. Complete at least 10 practice questions for each question you missed — show your work and bring it next week.
